This problem is usually caused by dust build up on the condenser (a car radiator looking device but smaller). The condenser is usually located at the bottom of the refrigerator and accessed though a panel at the back of the refrigerator. There is a fan that pulls or blows air through it, this air should be warm (this is the heat pulled out of the refrigerator through the condenser). If the condenser fins are clogged with dust this heat exchange is hindered thus the refrigerator will not get as cold. All one has to do is unplug the refrigerator access the condenser (behind a slotted panel near the cooling fan) and blow the dust out of it (between the fins in particular), either with a small compressor or a can of pressurized air (like the type used on computers), plug the refridge back in and it should be cold again. Remove any dust hanging around, as this has a tendency to get into the condenser fins again. Hope this helps.
This is known as the CZT or Climate Zone Technology fan and if you direct wire it and it does not run, replace. This is the cold zone fan which supplies cold air to the meat and crisper drawers.
The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper)
between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through
it.There is a flap you adjust with the
fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the
fridge temp. The problem could be the electronic control if
you have one or the mechanical linkages.
after removing all of the freezer racks and shelf pull the 4 1/4 inch screws out at the bottom back panel of the freezer. pull the 2 panels off and slide them out strait down to the floor of the freezer. if your freezer coils are full of snow and ice then the fan cant pull any cold air up into the refrigerator.your problem is probably th defrost adaptive timer. if the heater ohms out at around 20 to 30 ohms it is ok. next ohm the 2 white wires at the plug this is checking the thermostat it shoud ohm out at aproximately 240 k ohms if those 2 things check out the problem is the adaptive defrost timer it is in the ceiling behind the temperature controls on yhe right side.
Generally speaking it is the refrigerator control that controls the compressor operation. Refrigerator is cooled by air from the freezer. When the refrigerator gets down to its designed temperature it shuts off the compressor. The freezer control determines how much air is allowed to flow into the refrigerator section and there-by controls the freezer temperature.
please check the air flow to the refrigerator side. it could be a stuck damper motor or damper thermostat. if the fan inside the freezer is running, you should be able to feel cold air coming out off the vents in the refrigerator side. you might have to press the button light switch on the panels to run the fan.
